Glitch update project results Q2-2020 04 June 2020
In addition to a strong agrifood sector, the border region of Flanders - the Netherlands also houses a very strong high-tech sector. Growers, technology companies, research institutions and customers / customers co-create in this project around innovations with realistic market potential. The focus is on innovations that increase energy efficiency in greenhouse horticulture or that are themselves energy-neutral. GLITCH will focus on the innovation process itself: how can companies achieve successful, low-carbon innovation by co-creating with relevant stakeholders in the industry column?
